During my conversation with Nandoh Munoz earlier today, he mentioned that he rode his Harley over in the new subdivision next to ours to the east. I had driven the Mustang through it a few months ago, but I hadn't yet with the mini bike.
So, I decided to take a little ride over into Mesa Ridge Ranch. It's a nice, warm day at about 88°.

I found that there are a few lots that have been sold, but no homes have been built as yet. I rode into the subdivision on its main road (Maverick Road).
I rode the length of the road until it dead-ended at the top of a hill. There's a locked gate there and on the other side of it is Cibola National Forest. Very nice view!

It is said that somewhere in this area of the national forest is an old western movie set. I've seen nothing online about any abandoned movie sets in the area.
I took a couple of pictures and turned around and headed down the hill.

On the way, I spotted a utility service road that runs under the power lines. Since my house isn't too far from the utility road (or, a utility road), I decided to see if it will take me back home.
The road is a dirt road with rocks and sections of it either washed out or very rough with some deep ruts. But, with ruts and all, the mini bike took to the road just fine and it did lead me to Whispering Cedars Road, our main road, and I was less than a block away from home.
It was a nice ride!
